"If you think because she is dead i am weak, you understand very little. If you had anything to do with her death and are not afraid, you understand nothing at all. I am the Doctor, i'm coming to find you, and i will never, ever stop.''
- Unknown transmission, broadcast throughout the Trapp system after the Martyrdom of Saint Yenna

Another leader from the Legion, this time an Apothecary based on the Primaris kit. Once again this was a simple head swap with a skull. I also cut away the geneseed he was holding, to replace it with another skull, leaving him staring into it's sockets, peerhaps judging if it's owner is a worthy new recruit.

The first of my HQ's for the force, a converted Lieutenant for the Legion. Once again the components used were pretty simple. The bionic arm comes from the Hellblaster kit, with a simple handswap so he's wielding a Bolt Rifle. The head is from the same kit, and then it was just a matter of sculpting a little bit of flame on his combat knife with a blob of greenstuff.

This is the first completed squad for the army and was originally going to be the last. However because of the feedback i've received and how much i enjoyed painting them, they've now become my main project for the next few months.

I've begun work on a second squad and a Redemptor Dreadnought, plus a couple of characters to add to the army.

Ruleswise i'm trying to decide whether to use Raven Guard or Imperial Fist traits. The Raven Guard abilities would let me represent the way the Legion appears out of nowhere, while the Imperial Fist traits would better represent the spectral firepower of the Legion.

'Clad in ebon armour cast in perpetual shadow, the Legionnaire known as the Burning Man is lit only by the spectral fires that dance upon it's armour. First sighted in 148 m.41, his mark of armour and equipment defies explanation'
- Inquisitor Saboro Thirsk
The Burning Man is the second Legionnary that i converted, again using the multipart Intercessor kit as the base and using one of the Citadel Skulls for a head.

Always manifesting as a pair, the Brothers have been sighted on battlefields across the length and breadth of the Imperium. The first known sighting was during the Fall of Arcadia, 849.m41, long before mk X power armour entered service amongst the Emperor's Angels of Death. Clearly some kind of temporal anomaly is involved and bears further investigation
- Inquisitor Saboro Thirsk, Ordo Chronos

The next couple of miniatures i finished were The Brothers. Again very little conversion work was involved with these models, replacing the nozzles and in the case of the brother on the left, adding a skull to the end of his bolt rifle.

Sightings of the Legionary known as 'The Oncoming Storm' always presage an immenent invasion. The apparition was last sighted stalking the halls of the Imperial Palace shortly before a daemonic incursion was unleashed upon the Throneworld.
- From the works of Inquisitor Saboro Thirsk, Ordo Chronos

This was the first Legion of the Damned miniature i converted and it's a fairly simple one to do. The head was taken from the GW Skulls box set, with a bit of greenstuff to create a neck for it to sit on. Next step was to click the nozles from the backpack, which were then replaced by two of the Ork skulls from the same box set.

Last was a power sword from the Deathwatch kill team kit. I've found that the Deathwatch kits fit best with the Primaris models, because the Deathwatch models were also slightly larger than the standard Space Marine.

The Oncoming Storm will be leading the first squad of Intercessors in the army.

Hello to anyone who still views this blog. As you can see, it's been many years since my last post here. This was largely due to various changes and upheavals in my life - i've changed jobs several times, had my own gaming store for two years, lost said gaming store. A lots gone on.

What hasn't changed is my love for the tabletop gaming hobby.

So with that in mind, i've decided to resurrect this blog. Upcoming content will be a reboot of my Rainbow Warriors, some delving into new game systems - heck Age of Sigmar wasn't even a thing when i last posted.

I've had a flick through the Flames of War rulebook, not quite enough to have learnt the rules - which are always best learnt through at...

Regular Opponent(s) Wanted!

I'm currently looking for regular opponents for any of the Games Workshop systems and possibly those produced by other companies (assuming you can handle the fact i'd be a complete noob) in the Merseyside/Wirral area. If you're stuck for someone to play then drop me a line through the blog!
